Pumpkin Pretzels

Halloween is all about candy and carving pumpkins, so let’s put the two together to make these crafty Pumpkin Pretzels. Each pumpkin is created by coating six pretzel dipping sticks in Orange Candy Melts (or orange colored white chocolate) and attaching them all together into a rectangle.

Then a broken pretzel stem is added and some leaves and vines are piped on using green candy melts. To make these pumpkin pretzels really festive, you can add a jack-o-lantern face using black candy melts. You, of course, can skip the face if you just want a pretty pumpkin pretzel.

These pumpkin pretzels are designed to look like the popsicle craft pumpkins that are a popular Halloween craft for kids. Have you ever made those with your kids?

What this video to see how you can craft these Pumpkin Pretzels using pretzel sticks instead of popsicle sticks.

Ingredients

12ouncesOrange Candy Melts,melted

65Pretzel Dipping Sticks

2ouncesGreen Candy Melts, melted

4ouncesBlack Candy Melts, melted

Instructions

Dip one pretzel into the orange candy melts and coat it completely.

Remove from the candy using a dipping fork and allow excess to drip off.

Set pretzel on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Dip a second pretzel and set it right next to the first pretzel.

Repeat until you have a row of six candy coated pretzels lined up forming a rectangle pumpkin.

Freeze for about 3 minutes, just until the candy coating hardens.

Repeat creating a total of 10 pretzel pumpkins. You should have 5 extra pretzels.

Break about 1/2 inch off each end of the remaining pretzels.

Attach one small pretzel piece to each of the pumpkins to create the stem.

Pour the melted green candy melts into a squeeze bottle or zip top bag.

Pipe on some green leaves and a vine going down one side of each pumpkin.

Pour the black candy melts into another bottle or bag.

Pipe two triangle eyes, one triangle nose, and one toothy grin onto each pretzel pumpkin to make them look like jack-o-lanterns.

Chill for about one minute just until the decorations harden.

Recipe Notes

Do not chill for too long or the candy coating on your pretzels may crack.

.

If you prefer to dip your pretzels in pure white chocolate, you will need to melt and temper the chocolate then color it using an oil based orange candy coloring.

.

Allow the white chocolate dipped pretzels to chill in the refrigerator, not the freezer, for about 5 minutes just until the chocolate hardens.
